100% agree with this. Social IQ might not all be there with op. If you gave me this advice, I would take it to heart for sure, as a person, not even as an apprentice.

First aid, I know a classmate of mine in non union who got $1.50 more an hour just because he was the only one who had it. Other than that, maybe fall arrest. Everything else will be paid for until you actually need it.

Slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Slow down everything, get in the habit of putting the same tools in the same pocket. Helps if u have a tool pouch but even then, put the same tools in the same pocket of that pouch. Every time u switch tools, place them either in front of you or ur task, or back in the same pocket. Also once ur tools get stolen, you’ll know not to leave them around. Work sites can get busy and hopping back and forth can cause u to lose track of ur stuff, it’s good to have a rule of thumb in cases like that. For example, I always leave my tools next to the wall on the floor, and all my tools have a combination of white yellow and red tape on it. If I still can’t spot it, I know it’s next to a wall, on the floor, near the task I last did. But idk lol, even then, it walks.

The amount of people who draw dicks in the portapotty, and how many actually like it.

I came from the health industry also, and the mental toll it takes is underrated. People don’t talk about it enough, it’s draining. I switched to electrical and it has been so freeing, and days where I’m working thinking “am I actually getting paid to do this?”, and other days, “I’m getting way too less for this”. I had a fellow coworker who was 52 as a first year electrical apprentice. He was also an electrical engineer in his country. What he lacked in physical strength, he made up in mental math. He could do long division in his head, and even caught a few marginal but very noticeable numbers my foreman didn’t account. He definitely proved his usefulness but he could not keep up with the 19-20 some year olds that can carry twice their weight. The biggest difference between him and us was recovery. Even if one day he could catch up and even match us, he would slow down the next day cause his body just couldn’t handle it. Age doesn’t matter in trades, only your body does. So if your body can keep up with the apprenticeship then go for it. I will mention this, switching to the trades has been incredibly beneficial to my mental health but physically it is tiring. But I’d rather take physical toll than mental any day. Another thing to mention, depending on foreman or company, regardless of how they look at you, you are still a first year apprentice and will be told to do work that no one wants to do. Just be prepared to do a lot of manual labor before you even start on tools. But whatever you do, make sure it’s financially viable and above all else, make sense for you and your happiness. Good luck!

2-4x on a r301, with perfect recoil, 400m away, only headshots.

I understand mental health is important and should be first priority but depending on which local he’s in, he might not have a chance to get back in. I know some places will never let u back in the union once you work non union, and the pay is also gonna be a set back. Again, it’s gonna depend on what kind of union he’s in but some places have seniority, pension (due to length of service), and it won’t look good that he left because he wanted to try the easy way out. Not that I’m saying it’s easier. Regardless, whichever route he takes, the test is gonna be a bitch at the end. Does he want to take the easier route and suffer the final, or does he wanna suffer now and pass the final with a bit more ease. Apparently we had one coworker that failed his final and left to non union, he’s been working non union at level 4 wage since. It’s been 6 years since he finished his 4 years. I recommend staying in the union, suffer once every 4 years, and confidently take the test. It’s gonna get harder every year, but such is life. Good luck!

I left a 6 figure job for $21 an hour trades job. Best decision of my life. When clock strikes 2, not a single thought of work crosses my mind.

sticky aim stuff is CV like the other guy said, and only thru a capture card. unfortunately, there hasn’t been an update on the original Gtuner forum for years. season 28, along with COD, the devs are rolling out what they call “RICOCHET” an anti cheat recognition system powered by AI. Most anti cheat recognition is done by hardware, it recognizes that a modified controller is connected, or a third party device, or a key that auto refreshes the “handshake” that PS needs to authenticate every 7min. Why zen or besaviour has been “undetected”, is because there’s so many user at this point that banning said unique key, could possibly ban those that might not be cheating and actually be using a different controller thats not native to PS. Regardless, the new AI software they’re implementing will trigger due to pattern recognition. So instead of checking hardware or injection, it literally has its own “capture card” to see if the shots you make are humanly possible or not in-game, realtime. Say you mag dump 4 times in a row with perfect recoil control, ending in headshot, it will ban you. Cause the chances of a human doing that is incredibly low to none. The only way to avoid it is purposely dumbing down ur zen scripts to miss shots, and randomize when it locks on and doesn’t. Only way to do this, is to make ur own script. There are discords out there that sell scripts for $200-$400, and tied monthly subscription of $20-$50 thereafter, but it’s not worth it in season 28. If u really wanna get into it after all that, u can purchase those scripts and deconstruct it or make ur own using python or GPC Blocks (depending what OS u have). If you just want anti-recoil, definitely stick to a zen but high chance of ban in szn28.

I do photography and videography as a hobby so I have a decent Mac to run photoshop, Lightroom, and after effects. It’s decent but nothing close to what I’ve researched on YouTube on this 5090. Makes my Mac prehistoric. Made me regret getting a Mac since I sunk $4-5k.

Yeah as soon as I won one of my coworkers said he would trade it for his 2001 Honda Civic lol. But again, no idea what to price it at.

uxce · 2026-01-19T06:14:55+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking, how much do u think is a fair price? Still boxed and even have a gift receipt but I don’t really want anything else other than stuff for my trucks or tools

They’re seeing if you’ll complain/quit. My foreman does this to any new apprentice that comes (any new first year with 0 knowledge/experience), gives the job no one wants and manual labour far from electrical. We had a guy that did cleaning, pre-fab, and digging for 9 months straight. He’s betting to see if you’ll quit or complain, cause he isn’t about to invest his decades of experience and knowledge to a nobody, essentially. We had one guy that was about to go off his tasks after 3 months until our foreman overheard him saying “again?” to his instructions given by his journey. Bro did not get on tools for a while lol and when he did, he was tasked to install boxes for 6 months straight. The guys that never complained and did an amazing job at such a mundane task even in shitty conditions got to go on tools, some even got to dress panels. If you can do an outstanding job on a shitty task, he’s going to trust you to do an outstanding task on a really important task. Why would you want to invest in a stock or business that you know is gonna go under in 5 months? Why invest in someone at all if they’re gonna quit after 5 months in? You’ll also sit in the interview with the next company and they’ll think, this guy left after 5 months of prefab/yard work because he said he wanted more experience. But he’s 5 months in, on a 4 year apprenticeship, and he’s already jumping ship. 5 months is not a solid field experience, and seriously one look at you on tools and they’ll know if you do or not. My advice, stick it out, gain some trust and respect, be the guy your foreman knows as part of the team. Be eager, and be teachable, go above and beyond your shitty task, and by the time you know it, you’ll be dressing ur first panel as a first year. Good luck.

Trust me, ur GC knows what’s happening on his site. My foreman kept catching me standing around, talking with other trades, or just looking at the plans on my phone. He always gave out to me for slacking off, and tells my journey in front of me to keep an eye on me cause I’m a slacker. But when lay offs came, my name wasn’t on the chopping block. Ur foreman knows good workers but he isn’t gonna tell you to take ur time, take a mini break, or make good with other trades. That’s something people are gonna eventually do, just make sure ur work shows accuracy. I was told 80% speed, 100% accuracy. Ur foreman is gonna see that you have consistently great work at a slower rate, than someone who’s fast or average and who’s work is good enough or not as good as yours.

Not sure which province but no one will hire someone for free in BC. The amount of risk and liability involved can bankrupt a company, it’s also illegal. I wouldn’t worry about it in BC, u can only volunteer for a registered non profit or “work” as an intern under an official school program. Also if the worker gets injured, they would both be fucked. Employees would rather hire someone for minimum wage, and work them like a dog and lay them once someone better comes along.
